As parents, it is our responsibility to ensure Kids are aware of the dangers that exist in the world today–

With the ever-changing landscape of technology (Internet and social media), it is imperative that parents and teachers work together to ensure that children are safe and are being given the skills they need to become good citizens. Teaching children about healthy habits, safety, and digital literacy can help protect them from dangerous habits, bullying, and other dangers. It is important to help and protect children from dangerous and harmful behaviours and by providing them with the right guidance and support, children can become confident, responsible, and successful individuals.

Keeping children safe from associated dangers

When it comes to the education of children, the importance of protecting them from a bad environment is not given much consideration. Children also do not understand the dangers they may face and are prone to accidents. As parents, it is our responsibility to understand all the hidden dangers (at home and outside) related to the child and prepare the child for them. Children are walking this path for the first time, but we have lived this and we know very well the dangers and also how we can get our child out of these situations. These risks are not limited, but their pattern can be understood and the child can be trained for it.

What are the risks to the child at home? For example, electricity and gas can be dangerous. Make a complete list and arrange it according to the severity of the hazards.

We often came across tragedies with children

We hear heartbreaking news about children all the time. Isn’t it possible to train our children ahead of time on who to meet in the absence of their parents? Who they can get close to and who not? It is very important that we train our children on what mood they should be in when outside. For example, if a stranger or someone they know inappropriately touches them, they should call for help etc.

While I was writing this book, there was news on social media about the disappearance of a 4–5-year-old girl from a neighbouring village who did not return home from school. The whole village searches her and when there was no trace by evening, the police were informed. On the next day, the girl’s uncle’s house is searched. The girl’s dead body is found in a water drum, she was killed for witchcraft. Such tragic events happen to children all over the world. For this, it is necessary to protect children and train them for such bad incidents.

Do you already know about child abuse? How will you protect your child?

Children are taught in reputable institutions. But do you recall you are ever being so concerned about their health and diet? What we put in our stomach affects how our body and mind function. Our children attend excellent schools, are bright, and devote their full attention to their studies, but if they get sick once a month and miss two or three days. In such cases, the previously hard work is no longer relevant.
